[Sci-tech-public] Hide, Seek, and Cheer

[David Kaiser]

Hello, all,

In case you hadn't seen it (because it had blended into its surroundings so effectively?!), I wanted to make sure you knew that Prof. Hanna Rose Shell's book has recently been published: 

Hide and Seek: Camouflage, Photography, and the Media of Reconnaissance (Zone Books, 2012). 

You can learn more about the book here:

and you can read a brief and engaging interview with Hanna here, as well as view a wonderful slide show of some of the color plates featured in Hanna's book:

Please join me in congratulating Hanna!

best,
Dave

ps: And a quick reminder: the Morison Lecture will be held this Friday, 11 May, 4-6pm in room E14-633. The prize-winning lecturer is our own alumnus, Prof. Greg Clancey, who will be speaking on "Telling Stories about Technology in the Asian Century." Reception to follow. I look forward to seeing you there.
